INTRODUCTION
In this e -book we cover the various master data required for the product costing module. Most of the master data is dependent on the Production planning module (PP module). It is imperative for a Product costing consultant to understand the master data created in the Production planning module and its implications on product costing.

1. Maintaining Material Master for Product costing 1.1 Raw and Packing material
The importa nt views in the material master for the product c osting module are the accounting and costing view in raw and packing material. We will see how to maintain the accounting and costing view for raw material. The raw material 9100-202 is used in the manufacture of final product 9100103. These views are maintained by the Finance and the costing department. Use transaction code: MM01 Or Path: SAP standard menu Logistics Materials Management Master Material Create (General) MM01 - Immediately Material

We select this since we cost our finished product with a quantity structure.
This indicator must be selected, whereby the material number will be written to the cost element itemization in the controlling module. This enables us to analyze material costs in the information system in more detail.
Update the profit center field.
Where different overhead rate are applicable on different raw material then you need to update the relevant overhead group in the field

Select the Procurement type as In case of manufactured E should be updated.
The field is very important in case the finished goods are stock transferred to another plant which is a depot or a selling plant.
PC master data
Page 20 of 57
Let us take an example:Finished goods 9100-103 is manufactured in plant 9100. The Bill of Material and Master recipe are maintained in plant 9100. Therefore the standard cost estimate is calculated in plant 9100. This product is stock transferred to another plant 9101 which is a sales depot. There exists no BOM and master recipe in plant 9101. How to do you calculate the standard cost estimate in plant 9101? Here special procurement key is of prime importance. The special procurement key is configured in material requirement planning. It basically tells the system that plant 9101 will receive material from plant 9100. Thus when you execute standard cost estimate for the product 9100-103 in plant 9101, if a special procurement key has been maintained in the material master in plant 9101, then the standard cost estimate is transferred from plant 9100 in plant 9101.

Production versions are maintained in this view. Production version is basically a combination of a Bill of Material and Master recipe. Finished goods can have various production versions. But when a standard cost estimate is executed the product cost planning component by default picks up only the first production version. In case a product is manufactured using repetitive manufacturing then the following fields are updated.

Click on 2. Bill of Material (BOM) A finished product is manufactured using various components i.e. raw and packaging material. This list of component that makes the final product is called the Bill of Material. It contains the object number of each component with quantity and unit of measure. The components are known as BOM items.

3. Activity prices maintained for cost centers
The activities typically carried on a product could be as follows:Machine activity Labour activity Quality checking activity Activity prices are maintained for each of the above activity. These activities are carried out by various production cost centers. The activity costs are absorbed into the product as follows:Activity Qty (mentioned in the recipe or routing) X activity price (maintained for activity type and cost center combination)
Before we maintain let us see a cost center report for cost center 9101012 using transaction code S_ALR_87013611 - Plan/Actual Comparisons
The total cost planned on the cost center is 840, 000.
PC master data
Page 33 of 57
This cost needs to be absorbed into the product. Now let us proceed for updating the activity price Let us see the how the activity prices are maintained in the cost center accounting module: Transaction code: KP26 Or Menu Path: SAP Menu Accounting Controlling Cost Center Accounting Planning Activity Output/Prices KP26 Change We will maintain plan activity price for activity labour and the labour cost center for the year 2007.
Click
PC master data
Page 34 of 57
Update the following:The planned labour hours (activity) for the year 2007 is 70,000 hours. The activity price calculated works out to 12/- which is as follows:Activity price = Total cost on Labour cost center -------------------------------------------Planned activity = 840,000 ------------70,000 = 12/-
Let us update that as below
Click on Let us now again see the cost center report using transaction code S_ALR_87013611 - Plan/Actual Comparisons
PC master data
Page 35 of 57
The cost of 840,000/- is now absorbed, showing 0.04- balance. The plan activity of 70,000 hr is also updated on the cost center. The above method is manually updating activity prices in the cost center planning. Another option is to have system calculate activity price through system. You only maintain the activity output 70,000 hrs through the transaction KP26. The activity price calculation is executed through transaction code KSPI Price Calculation. System will automatically calculate price as follows:Activity price = Total cost planned on the cost center 9101012 ---------------------------------------------------------------Activity output = 840,000 -------------70,000 = 12/- per hour

4. Resource/ Work center A Resource is an organizational unit that defines where and when an operation should be carried out. It has an available capacity. The activity performed here is valuated by charge rates which are determined by cost centers and activity types. A Resource is a master data defined when process orders are used. Process orders are used for process industry. The same master data is defined as Work center when production orders are used. A Resource/Work center is linked to a cost center. This master data is maintained by the PP guys. The PP and CO teams have to jointly work to define and link the resource and cost center. Let u s display a resource.

A formula maintained above helps in proportionately calculating the number of hours required. E.g. The number of hours required for a base quantity of 1000 kgs is 10 hours. If the manufacturing batch size is 5000 kgs then as per the above formula the number of labour hours is calculated as follows:= 10 hrs X 5000 kgs ------------1000 kgs = 50 hrs It is essential to verify that formula is correctly defined.

5. Master Recipe/ Routing A Master Recipe is a description of a specific process in the process industry that does not relate to a specific process order. It is used for producing materials. The same master data is called as Routing when production orders are used. Of course the maintenance of the 2 master data is through different transaction codes. Master data to be maintained in both the cases are more or less same.
The master recipe is maintained by the PP team. Let us display the master recipe maintained for the finished product. Transaction code: C203 Or Menu Path: SAP menu Logistics Production Process Master Data Master Recipes Recipe and Material List C203 Display

Also note the costing Relevancy indicator in the master recipe above
This determines that the operations are relevant for costing. 6. Production versions A production version is a production technique that can be used to produce a material. It is a combination of a BOM and Recipe/Routing. Let us take an example of what can be the difference between 2 production versions to manufacture the same product:1) Production version 1 BOM - 1 Master recipe 1 Master recipe 1 uses fully automated machines with latest technology. They are high speed machines where the processing time is less i.e. 2 hours Production version 1 uses BOM 1 and Master recipe 1 to manufacture the product.
PC master data
Page 46 of 57
2) Production version 2 BOM -1 Master recipe 2 Master recipe - 2 uses machine with old technology which requires more processing time and also is not automated therefore some labour operation is also required. The production version 2 uses BOM 1 and master recipe 2 to manufacture the product. You will have a question in mind why do we require the second production version? Why not manufacture all the products using production version 1? The answer to this question is there is limited capacity available on production version 1. Therefore production version 2 needs to be used due to capacity constraints in production version 1. Production versions are maintained by the PP guys. Let us see the creation of a production version. Transaction code: MM02

Click Click Click on The first production version 1 is by default picked up while executing standard cost estimate. In case you want to have a Standard cost estimate taking the average of both the production version you need to configure mixed costing. Mixed Cost estimate configuration and master data maintenance is covered in our SAP FICO configuration CD set.

7. Maintain Overhead rates In case overheads have been configured then you need to maintain the overhead rates as a part of master data. Overheads can be calculated as a % of Material costs or as a % of wages. It can also be calculated based on quantity of raw material. The overheads configured in our scenario are production overhead which is 4% of wages. This is maintained by the costing department every year. A costing sheet must have been configured for this to work. The configuration of the costing sheet has been covered in detailed in the Product costing CD of the SAP FICO configuration CD set.
